Re: .htaccess a major bottleneck to Semantic Web adoption / Was: Re: RDFa vs RDF/XML and content negotiation

Hashed URIs can bring other problems.

For example, if I have a service http://mydata.org/uri that takes a  
URI and returns what it knows about the thing identified by that URI  
and I pass it a hash URI, e.g. http://ci.nii.ac.jp/naid/110006281382#article 
, my browser will trim #article and send http://ci.nii.ac.jp/naid/110006281382 
  to my client.

But, http://ci.nii.ac.jp/naid/110006281382 is NOT the URI of interest  
(it's a web page, http://ci.nii.ac.jp/naid/110006281382#article  
identifies the article itself). So, I have to fuss with URL encoding  
and Apache mod_rewrite to get http://ci.nii.ac.jp/naid/110006281382#article 
  past the browser and web server and to my client.

It's little things like this that make like *cough* interesting.
